2.80 geotropism

• geotropism = growth responses to gravity
• positive geotropism = when the stem of a seed grows downwards
• negative geotropism = when the stem of a seed grows upwards
• If you were to rotate the seed, the negative geotropism grows upwards, and the embryonic root will grow downwards showing positive geotropism.
